There's a really nice geared version too.

Its the same bike. The drop-outs can be swapped out.

my error, what i mean is that there's no direct shadow coming from the red bike, it only appear half a metre away from it, making it appear to be floating in mid-air.

edit - too late.

I was referring to the light falling on the bike itself - not the shadow. Shall we move on and file it under the folder of 'Things that are like the Shepard Effect.'

Photoshop geeks need to get back to their artworking, I've got a goddamn deadline to meet here.

Photo aside there are many reasons that bike would be an utter fail on the track

lets start with:

slack geometry
Brakes
Knobbly tyres
stupidly low gearing

it looks more setup for ss cyclocross, and to me seems to be a decent option if you don't mind carrying that heavy frame around in the mud, oh and not being able to change gear. it's like when hipsters discover cyclocross and try to make a 'scene' out of it, while still sucking at it.

Its a frameset that comes with 2 different sets of dropouts, allowing you to run it geared, or fixed/ss

It is not meant to go anywhere near a track.

Pap idea. Get two bikes.

i'd say great idea, summer cross geared, winter cross SS, less washing to do in the pits mid race, my jump bike has a similar system so i run it geared with vertical drop-outs in the summer and SS with horizontals in the winter to save my gears

i know someone who has been riding ss cyclo-cross for the past 8 or so years in arkansas, he hates gears. since he was a kid he has rode ss. so.. about the hipster thing?...i dont get it. all fixies are hipsters like it or not! we gay our rides up..we hang around pubs and have semis over eachothers Brooks saddles, and we browse this forums talking about whats fly and what isnt.

That's not the definition of a hipster.

2 years ago, my dream bike

that bike is floating!

Repost for sure, but I want to look at it every now and then and can't be bothered to bookmark the page...

there is a shadow for the white bike and due to the angle of the lighting the shadow for the red one would be out of shot

this

that bike, ye, that bike, dressed to kill

dunno if repost but I do like this bike very very much:

you don't even need to look at shadows. The outside edge of the bottom half of the front tyre is wrong, it has that superimposed look and doesn't 'gel' with the surrounding ground.

they are hanging from the blue frames you can see n the top right and also you can see the sides of one frame behind the front 2 bikes. must have used fishing wire or maybe just photoshoped the wires out.

Poor design for the one on the left.
I think it's more convenient to have a fixed position for the rear wheel axle and the disc brake caliper on the dropout and a slot where it's attached to the frame. In that way, both the rear wheel and brake caliper are moved when adjusting the chain tension.
Now you have to re-adjust the brake caliper each time you change gears for example.
How it exactly works with replacing a wheel (moving front/aft) with the disc between the brake pads: I don't know. Didn't experience that with SS or FG or these fork ends. But I can think of some problems there.

I can change the sprocket by +/- 1 tooth without worrying about the brake on my singlespeed, which gives a good range on a micro drive - 27/12,13 or 14. If you're running big sprockets, it might be more of an issue if you don't want to swap chainrings at the same time to keep effective chainstay length roughly constant

speak for yourself.

agreed - shit design, why bother with track ends and geared.. just put a hanger on and get the tension from the frame end for ss... like this, save lots of time with discs

OR

or even just an eccentic BB. waste of everyones time.

i hate brooks saddles, there for old people who suffer with piles!

hotness in bamboo.

So what do you do if you have to replace the belt?? Do you have to break the frame??
